 lich's var. parasitica, the third is the remote JE. micrantha. The distributed sheets of 

 Wall. Cat. 766 contain these three plants mixed in varying proportions.

Leaves 4 by If in. Sepals sometimes nearly free, narrowly lanceolate, sometimes 

 united half-way. Scarcely separable from IE. grandiflora var. parasitica, but has 

 broader leaves, and comes from a different area.

Leaves 4 by 1^ in. Pedicels often numerous, sometimes in., sometimes capitate. 

 Calyx (in the typical plant) deeply divided, tube wide subcampanulate, lobes lanceo- 

 late ; in H.f. fy T. n. 15, calyx-tube narrow-cylindric teeth sublinear as long as the 

 tube. Anthers (in the typical plant) far exserted ; in all the numerous examples of 

 H.f. Sf T. very shortly exserted. Hardly distinguishable from 3&. ramosissima, but 

 by the small calyx.

Stem somewhat slender, elongate, branching, rooting at the nodes, terete. Leaves 

 3 by | in., acuminate, base cuneate, fleshy, midrib beneath scarcely dilated ; petiole 

 4- in. Pedicels 1-2 together, terminal and axillary, J in. Calyx divided nearly to 

 the base; lobes i by ^ in. Corolla somewhat curved; lobes - in., rounded black 

 purple-marked. Filaments far exserted, minutely glandular-hairy. Seeds not seen. 

 Examples imperfect; the species is certainly distinct if, as Brown says, "semnia 

 extreimtate superiore ditricha ;" but it exceedingly resembles M longicc 

 from the same place.
